Learning Objectives

This chapter introduces the student to the concept of a sequence in Python and explores the use of two common Python sequences: lists and tuples. The student learns to use lists for arraylike operations, such as storing objects in a list, iterating over a list, searching for items in a list, and calculating the sum and average of items in a list. The chapter discusses list comprehension expressions, slicing, and many of the list methods. One- and two-dimensional lists are covered. The chapter also includes a discussion of the matplotlib package, and how to use it to plot charts and graphs from lists.
